Immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors, such as antibodies blocking the programmed cell-death receptor-1 (PD-1), has resulted in remarkable responses in patients having traditionally refractory cancers. Although response to PD-1 inhibitors correlates with PD-1 ligand (PD-L1 or PD-L2) expression, PD-1 ligand positivity represents only a part of the predictive model necessary for selecting patients predisposed to respond to immunotherapy. We used all genomic, transcriptomic, proteomic and phenotypic data related to 8,475 pan-cancer samples available in The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and conducted a logistic regression analysis based on a large set of variables, such as microsatellite instability (MSI-H), mismatch repair (MMR) alterations, polymerase ? (POLD1) and polymerase ? (POLE) mutations, activation-induced/apolipoprotein-B editing cytidine deaminases (AID/APOBEC) alterations, lymphocyte markers and mutation burden estimates to determine independent factors that associate with PD-1 ligand overexpression. PD-1 ligand overexpression was independently and significantly correlated with overexpression of and mutations in APOBEC3 paralogs. Additionally, while high tumor mutation burden and overexpression of PD-L1 have been previously correlated with each other, we demonstrate that the specific mutation pattern caused by APOBEC enzymes and called kataegis?rather than overall mutation burden, MSI-H or MMR alterations?correlates independently with PD-L1/PD-L2 expression. These observations suggest that APOBEC3 alterations, APOBEC3 overexpression and kataegis play an important role in the regulation of PD-1 ligand overexpression, and thus, their relationship with immune checkpoint inhibitor response warrants exploration.
